Re: Pictures of your Star Wars

in my humble opinion....

do the BIP adjustment procedure and see how that improves it.

 Battlezones quite often get distorted like this, sometimes it can be
resolved with a fat ground lead as championed by John... run a lead
(hardwiring preferably), the game pcb gnd to monitor chassis gnd, to power
brick gnd. Sometimes tho, you just have to live with it, and short of
replacing all deflection transistors (both primary and secondary) and the
DAC's, and the OP-amps on the pcb, these kind of problems are difficult to
erradicate.

 Most people would leave that display as it is, its hardly a big thing, and
looks livable with. What i have noticed is that people who play MAME and see
how crisp it is, then start complaining when the real thing has a hint of
mis-alignment, or natural age-induced funkyness. MAME really helps people to
become really difficult (especially with defender's) when they see the
'natural' garbage off the edges of the screen, demanding it be fixed,
because you don't see it in mame, where the real-life solution as indicated
by the manufacturers was to simply push it off the edge of the picture with
sizing adjustments.

 I do still think it could be improved with a BIP adjustment though ;)
